Sample Reports

See exactly what a DMX report looks like

Three complete example reports — motion clips, marked findings by projection, and plain-language impressions patients understand. All cases are fictional demonstrations.

Sample reportCase 1 of 3

Upper-cervical rotational instability

Excess rotation at C1–C2 with delayed recovery

Patient
Sample Patient A, 41
Date of exam
2026-05-14
Interpreting clinician
Dr. Brian Hutcheson, DC
Facility
DMX Sample Clinic

Indications: Chronic suboccipital headache and dizziness following a motor-vehicle collision.

In plain language

As you turn your head, the top two vertebrae (C1 and C2) rotate further than they should and are slow to return to center — a sign the ligaments that normally limit that motion have been stretched.

Findings by projection

  • Open Mouth RotationAsymmetric lateral overhang of C1 on C2 exceeding normal range on right rotation.
  • Lateral Nodding / JuttingDelayed C1 recovery with paradoxical flutter of the posterior arch during return to neutral.
  • Neutral LateralMaintained cervical lordosis; no fracture or gross malalignment at rest.

Clinical impression

Findings are consistent with upper-cervical ligamentous laxity producing rotational instability at the atlanto-axial (C1–C2) segment, most pronounced on right rotation, without osseous injury.

Sample reportCase 2 of 3

Segmental instability on flexion

Anterolisthesis at C4–C5 that appears only in motion

Patient
Sample Patient B, 37
Date of exam
2026-05-22
Interpreting clinician
Dr. Brian Hutcheson, DC
Facility
DMX Sample Clinic

Indications: Neck pain with a 'giving-way' sensation on forward bending; prior whiplash.

In plain language

When you bend your neck forward, one vertebra (C4) slides forward on the one below it (C5) more than it should, then returns when you straighten up. A still X-ray taken sitting upright would look normal — this only shows up on the moving study.

Findings by projection

  • Lateral FlexionAnterolisthesis of C4 on C5 measuring beyond physiologic translation at end-range flexion.
  • Lateral ExtensionReduction of the listhesis on extension, confirming a mobile (not fixed) segment.
  • Anterior PosteriorNo lateral wedging or coronal instability.

Clinical impression

Dynamic anterolisthesis of C4 on C5 reducible on extension, indicating flexion instability of the C4–C5 motion segment — occult on static imaging and demonstrable only on motion study.

Sample reportCase 3 of 3

Normal motion study (baseline)

Smooth, symmetric motion at every level

Patient
Sample Patient C, 29
Date of exam
2026-05-30
Interpreting clinician
Dr. Brian Hutcheson, DC
Facility
DMX Sample Clinic

Indications: Baseline evaluation; no prior trauma. Included for contrast.

In plain language

Each vertebra glides smoothly and returns to center as you move — exactly what a healthy neck should do. This is what we compare an injured study against.

Findings by projection

  • Lateral FlexionEven segmental contribution through the cervical curve; no translation beyond normal.
  • Open Mouth RotationSymmetric C1–C2 rotation with prompt recovery to neutral.
  • Neutral LateralNormal lordosis, disc heights, and alignment.

Clinical impression

Normal cervical motion study. Symmetric, coordinated segmental motion without instability, aberrant translation, or delayed recovery.
